# Melkior Yields up to 12.6% Copper, 43.9 g/t Gold and 13.1% Zinc in Phase 1 Prospecting at Genex Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/melkior-yields-up-to-12-6-copper-43-9-g-t-gold-and-13-1-zinc-in-phase-1-prospect--b8cdebf3-09c1-479f-a4a0-72acded9dfe6 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/MKR/news/5649153829493658/melkior-yields-up-to-12-6-copper-43-9-g-t-gold-and-13-1-zinc-in-phase-1-prospect Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2023-10-04T12:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Melkior Resources Inc. - Ticker: MKR - Exchange: TSX - Region: Timmins, Ontario - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Copper, Zinc, Silver, Cobalt - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-16 11:15:59 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Melkior Resources reported high-grade prospecting results from its Phase 1 program at the Genex project, including gold as high as 43.9 g/t and copper as high as 12.6%. The results, obtained via chip and float sampling, suggest significant mineralized extension to the north of the historical Genex mine. Reasoning: Strong high-grade surface intercepts \(43.9 g/t Au, 12.6% Cu\) validate the extension potential of the Genex deposit, though results are limited to surface sampling. - Positive factor: High-grade gold grab samples - Positive factor: Strong copper and zinc values in chip samples - Positive factor: Validation of northern extension potential - Negative factor: Sampling is surface-only \(chip/float\) - Negative factor: Preliminary nature of prospecting results Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 43.9 g/t gold is exceptionally high for the context. Evidence · text > highest result of 43.9 g/t gold **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release mentions AGAT laboratory, standards, and blanks. Evidence · text > Rock samples were sent to AGAT in Timmins, ON... Standards, and blanks were inserted **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: Results are from chip and float sampling on outcrops/trenches with no true width reported. Evidence · text > This sampling is preliminary and cannot be comparable to a measured sampling ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
